In this case, the absence of teeth in the upper jaw was accompanied not only by an inability to chew food properly, but also by pain in the temporomandibular joint area.
Therefore, the treatment was aimed not only at restoring the teeth, but also at normalizing occlusal relationships.
After CT imaging, 3Shape digital scanning, 3D treatment planning, and gnathological analysis, rehabilitation was performed according to the All-on-4 concept using MegaGen AnyRidge implants.
An individual surgical guide was fabricated to ensure precise implant placement.
On the day of surgery, the patient received a temporary fixed prosthesis on a titanium bar, which immediately restored both smile aesthetics and chewing function.
After 6 months of successful osseointegration, the temporary restoration was replaced with a permanent zirconia prosthesis on a custom titanium bar with screw retention.
Result:
The upper jaw teeth, chewing function, and smile aesthetics were fully restored.
It was also possible to stabilize the bite and reduce the load on the temporomandibular joint.
TMJ pain and missing teeth are often interconnected and require a comprehensive treatment approach.
